Yourself to Blame

 If things go bad for you,

And make you a bit ashamed,

Often you will find out that

You have yourself to blame.


Swiftly we ran to mischief

And then the bad luck came.

Why do we fault others?

We have ourselves to blame.


Whatever happens to us,

Here are the words to say,

“Had it not been for so-and-so,

Things wouldn’t have gone that way.


And if you are short of friends,

I’ll tell you what to do.

Make an examination,

You’ll find that fault’s in you.


You’re the captain of your ship,

So agree with the same.

If you travel downward,

You have yourself to blame.

White Privilege!

 White privilege is a made up term that means you want what I have without working for it. I was raised in a family with seven children. Mom stayed home and dad worked his tail off to put food on the table, clothes on our backs, and a roof over our heads. Our parents taught us the value of a good education and working hard to make that possible. It took me 8 years to make it through college because I was usually working 2-3 jobs. I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education and educated young people for thirty years before retiring. We raised one son. We waited 11 years until having our son. My wife worked full time. My mom went back to work after 60 to earn enough quarters for SSA payments. All seven kids earned degrees. I could go on and on, but you should get the idea. You want what I have don't practice self-destructive behaviors.


Teen marriage

No intact family mom and dad

Boat load of kids early

Don't study in school

No college or trade school

Drug, alcohol abuse

Arrest records


If you don't like the facts, continue to be part of the problem.

Unentitled: Who We Are

 We are an independent stock coming from people who worked tirelessly for what we earned, not given.

We don’t depend on the Federal Government. No handouts please.

We prepare for hard times.

 

We worked hard for decades in order to retire in relative comfort.

 

We don’t expect the Federal Government to hand out cash like candy to those who haven’t worked a day in their lives.

 

We don’t have a problem with taxes, as long as they are levied for their intended purpose.  No pork.

Screwtape Letters

′′One young devil asked the old man: "How did you manage to bring so many souls to hell?" The old devil answered: "I instilled fear in them!" Answers the youngster: "Great job!

And what were they afraid of? Wars? Hunger?" Answers the man: "No, they were afraid of the disease!" For this youngster: "Does this mean they didn't get sick? Are they not dead? There was no rescue for them?"


The old man answered: "but no . . . they got sick, died, and the rescue was there." The young devil, surprised, answered: "Then I don't understand???" The old man answered: "You know they believed the only thing they have to keep at any cost is their lives.


They stopped hugging, greeting each other. They've moved away from each other. They gave up all social contacts and everything that was human! Later they ran out of money, lost their jobs, but that was their choice because they were afraid for their lives, that's why they quit their jobs without even having bread.


They believed blindly everything they heard and read in the papers.

They gave up their freedoms, they didn't leave their own homes literally anywhere. They stopped visiting family and friends. 

The world turned into such a concentration camp, without forcing them into captivity. 


They accepted everything!!! 

Just to live at least one more miserable day . . . And so living, they died every day!!! And that's how it was very easy for me to take their miserable souls to hell..... ′′
